DONALD Trump ridiculed the millions of protesters who went on Women's Marches yesterday as denying democracy in a blistering tweet - before another tweet appeared on his account PRAISING them.

About two million people are thought to have marched across the world in protest of Donald Trump becoming America's 45th President.

And more than one million people marched in Washington DC alone, more than the total live audience who watched President Trump sworn in.

But in a blistering attack on the protesters and celebrities who spoke out, Mr Trump tweeted: "Watched protests yesterday but was under the impression that we just had an election! Why didn't these people vote? Celebs hurt cause badly."

But 90 minutes later, another, more measured tweet appeared on his personal account.

It read: "Peaceful protests are a hallmark of our democracy. Even if I don't always agree, I recognize the rights of people to express their views."

A number of celebrities joined protestors in the US capital on Saturday, incuding actresses America Ferrera, Ashley Judd and Scarlett Johansson.

The singer said: "Good didn’t win this election, but good will win in the end. So what today means is that we are far from the end. Today marks the beginning of our story.

"The revolution starts here. The fight for the right to be free, to be who we are, to be equal. Let’s march together through this darkness and with each step know that we are not afraid, that we are not alone, that we will not back down."

Mr Trump said: "We had a massive field of people, you saw them - packed. I get up this morning, I turn on one of the networks and they show an empty field.

"I said 'wait a minute, I made a speech', I looked out the field was, it looked like a million, a million and a half people, they showed a field where there were practically nobody standing.

The new president’s spokesman Sean Spicer insisted his was “the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration - period”.
